“Bahamian Sons Promotions seeks to create an exciting venue in Freeport and across the Bahamas for live and televised professional boxing,” 說 Kimberly Williams, Sherman’s wife and president of Bahamian Sons Promotion. “Easy access to the beautiful islands of the Bahamas are the perfect place to train and get away.”

Williams has been stopped only once in 57 親打架, extending former world champion 約瑟夫·帕克 和 Ruslan Chagaev, as well as top contenders 基督教錘,羅伯特·埃萊尼斯 和 Manuel Charr, the full distance in their fights. “坦克” defeated former world cruiserweight champion Al “冰” 油菜, fought world title challenger 賈米爾McCline一場平局, and was leading Hall of Famer 霍利菲爾德 until their 2011 fight was stopped due to questionable referee decision and declared a “no contest.”
